I spent a bit of time digging for this thing and it's kinda burried in tech talk now so....
I know it's kinda fun to make fun of Monoskiing and it definately looks kinda gat, but man some of those frenchies fuggin rip.
My apologies if this is a rerun:

There's no such thing as bad snow, just shitty skiers.

Whenever I hear "monoski" the only thing I can think about is that quality quote by bad roo ...

Nice!
That's Pif from Chamonix- he is a bad man.
Don't think too many of the mono haters can ski better than that.

Yes, there is lots of skidding going on there. And arm waving.

The skiers in chamonix listen to a lot of reggae and smoke big joints to counter-act the circuit-frying effect of over-stimulation that happens in a place where every day you can have the best run of your life, while thinking that you're going to die the whole time.

check out this section: http://www.tvmountain.com/tkb/tkb.htm
or over here: http://www.tvmountain.com/glisse/index.htm#mono
pif was the first to ski eugster on mono. you´ll find the vid on the page posted above. in the section pentes raides are some more clips, most of them with skiers and just one mono and it´s not always pif. lets say, the monos perform quite well in comparison to the skiers in those clips and they perform quite well in comparison to me if I recall how I moved along on some of these slopes
.
but st.deep he´s definitely not riding the gervasutti at 50 mph..
